Science: Bringing Countries TogetherGovernments in the Middle East are talking about a new particle accelerator named Sesame, which, they hope, will be functional by 2015. Sesame will be the first particle accelerator in the Middle East. Countries as opposed as Turkey, Pakistan, Cyprus, Iran and Israel are all involved. How amazing is it that this scientific community is ignoring political issues and joining together? Even better, their governments are supporting them. The name Sesame stands for Synchrotron Light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East. “Open sesame” is a reference to the famous book and Disney movie Ali (Aladdin) Baba and the Forty Thieves, from which this name comes from as well. Sesame is an apparatus for accelerating subatomic particles to high velocities by means of electric or electromagnetic fields. This basically increases the speed and energy of protons, electrons, or other atomic particles, and directs them at atomic nuclei or other particles to cause high-energy collisions. Sesame will be used by researchers to study everything from viruses and new drugs to the workings of a star and the understanding of the atomic nucleus. Sesame has backing from several Arab nations. These include Turkey, Pakistan, Cyprus, Iran, and, astonishingly enough, Israel. Even when the Iranian government has been publicly committed to Israel’s end and Israel has threatened to bomb Iran, both of these countries have pledged to provide more funding to Sesame. Also, news officials have witnessed these scientists having friendly, lengthy discussions on Sesame and its progress. In spite of the political sensitivity, the project has already been opening new doors of communication. So greatly in fact, that the idea of the project of Sesame being commissioned is now an actual possibility. Professor Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith, a British physicist and the governing council of Sesame, said “Science is a common language. If we speak it together,...

...﻿Science and Religion Should Work Together
Many people think that science should replace religion because religion is a left over from the infancy of our intelligence and religion makes humans to not be able to think critically because they do not want to believe the facts that science could explain everything and that God does not exist. What science could not do before, for example, people like Aristotle and...

...The word "science" probably brings to mind many different pictures: a fat textbook, white lab coats and microscopes, an astronomer peering through a telescope, a naturalist in the rainforest, Einstein's equations scribbled on a chalkboard, the launch of the space shuttle, bubbling beakers …. All of those images reflect some aspect of science, but none of them provides a full picture because science has so many facets

Physical science is the study of physics and chemistry of nature. From the materialist and functionalist viewpoints it overlaps the life sciences where ecology studies the evidences of historical facts or evolution. Physics along with Mathematics and Chemistry is one of the fundamental sciences because the...

...﻿Bringing people together for the first time whether it be for a work’s training program or a social event is often a surprisingly nerve-racking experience for all involved. Organisers and participants want to get people through that getting to know you phase as quickly as possible so they can get on with the main focus of the meeting.
Add an ice breaker game to your meeting, party or event and you’ll have your participants chatting and getting to know each other...
